This system marks characters on the surface of hot slabs, defined by a bright, white line (“handwritten” type) obtained spraying molten metal by a pistol handled by an automatic XY table.
The system assures excellent reliability and markings are very well readable, even in presence of irregular surfaces, also from distance. Outdoor storage is possible also for long time.
